Growth charts are among the tools used by nutritionists to track infant and child well-being. Numerous countries have depicted growth charts on their postage stamps, along with other GOBI components of child health (oral rehydration, breastfeeding, and immunizations). Postage stamps are useful in conveying essential health information to the populace and they honor worldwide efforts to improve child health. This article presents examples of GOBI depictions on postage stamps around the world, with special focus on growth charts.

Background: Malnutrition is a multifaceted problem requiring interventions that address the multi-sectoral determinants contributing to it. As per National Family Health Survey - 5 (2019-21), with 33.8% stunted, 20.3% wasted, and 32.2% underweight children, West Bengal is one of the high burden states for childhood undernutrition in India. Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess household-level access (i.e. the percentage of households availing select services) to various nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions and understand the extent to which convergent action has taken place in the most hard-to-reach areas of the Sundarbans. Methods: Cross-sectional survey following 30 x 30 cluster sampling; the sampling was done based on population proportion to size (PPS) methodology. A total of 912 households were recruited for a quantitative survey, and the data was collected through computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) tools. Data was collected from October 15-25, 2021 from households having at least one child in the age group of 6 – 24 months. Result: The study focused on 19 nutrition-specific and sensitive interventions. Household-level coverage of 13 of these interventions was 1.5%; coverage of the six others was 4.2%. The estimated coverage of all 19 interventions was found to be almost non-existent (0.2%). Conclusion: The conspicuously low coverage of services at the household level is a clear indicator of poor convergence of government schemes and programs, reflecting, in turn, disjointed action on the part of the various departments of the government. The results suggest the need for reconsidering the household-level delivery of services as a wholesome package of interventions rather than seeing them as discrete departmental deliverables.

The irradiation method has been widely used in treating food for its many advantages, perhaps giving inadequate attention toits dark side. Based on many scientific studies, irradiation has a direct impact on food components, affecting the food’s attributes. But could consuming irradiated food for a long period of time have adverse health effects? The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the scientific background of the use of radiation in the food industry and its effects on human health.

How and where have right to food (RTF) campaigns evolved, how have they connected to each other, what have been their achievements? Allow me to perhaps take a devil’s advocate position in my analysis on global perspectives on right to food campaigns with the specific intent to provoke a discussion. You can write letters to the editor to react. Providing a global perspective on RTF campaigns is not easy; it would have to be interpreted in the various national contexts, particularly given that both South Asia and Africa are so different. There are not many functioning campaigns as such (and less so RTF movements proper). There are thus more emerging lessons learned than actual achievements or positive experiences to report on. There are not many tools used and to be shared in this endeavor as such either.

We and our habitat are forms of energy, endowed with life, and irrevocably earthlings. A cosmological-to-locality appreciation of energy in food and nutrition science, practice and policy is overdue. Our livelihood, and any function we have, are energy dependent, as is planetary habitability. Energy cognisance has become an existential necessity in an increasingly self-destructive ‘anthropocene’ era when our own energy equilibrium is compromised. This is manifest in destruction and loss of our ecology, our livelihood expectations, and practices, and, in turn, our wellbeing and health. Most problematic has been the domination, skewing and loss of biomass caused by humans, both their over-population of the earth, and their exploitation of its natural resources. These resources provide fuel for warmth, cooking and transport, textiles, and clothing; are subject to land and aquatic harvest, are replaced by dwellings and infrastructural buildings, and yet are recreational assets. Wastage has been of scant regard. Energy misuse besets the entire food system. This has followed the development of the wood and coal-fired steam engine, the advent of gasoline powered internal combustion engines, use and transmission of electricity, and an insatiable arms industry. Now, we are at the brink of extinction. Profiteering and conflict over energy control has fostered unfettered industrial materialism, a major extinction risk factor. Not only is energy the power we need, but it has also underwritten the powerful. Can we be sufficiently insightful and collaborative to change this energy trajectory and survive healthfully on a habitable planet? Individuals, households, and communities, as opposed to unaccountable monopolies, could achieve control of the energy systems on which our livelihoods depend and render them sustainable, accessible, and affordable. Interconnected food and energy system ownership could be devolved to ‘The Commons’ as a cooperative, sustainability strategy. The social momentum and appropriate technology for energy conservation, renewability and personalisation is now available for mobilisation to address our food, nutrition, and health insecurity.

Background Deficiency of the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D, is a major public health issue which affects people all over the world. Vitamin D deficiency was common among populations in the Amravati district of India, particularly among females, young adults in rural areas and the elderly. While many studies have focused on vitamin D levels in individuals, few have compared vitamin D status in younger and older as well rural and urban populations. Methodology The present study was conducted in the pathology department of a tertiary health care centre serving both a rural and urban population. 481 adult patients were examined from Jun 2017 to May 2019, age 20 to 78, of both sexes. Result We found that there was a high frequency of vitamin-D deficiency/inadequacy. The overall prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml of serum 25- Hydroxyvitamin D) was 40%. There was significantly more deficiency in urban than rural areas. However, we found no significant differences by age or sex. Conclusion Vitamin-D deficiency is very common in India. The clinically identified cases, on the other hand, are just the tip of the iceberg. Given the numerous effects that this deficiency might produce, this hidden pandemic slows the country's development. Vitamin-D deficiency must be managed with care and attention. Vitamin-D supplementation is critical for these residents who are vitamin-D deficient. Food fortification should be explored as the best long-term public health measure to improve the vitamin D status of the entire population.

It is necessary to significantly accelerate the progress for optimal young child feeding practices in order to attain global nutrition goals and targets. Innovative and compelling communication approaches should be explored and tested to change social behaviours towards nutrition. A concept promoted in Nepal known as Poshan Nanglo (Nutrition Tray), is an interactive demonstration of locally available and nutritiously diverse foods. Using qualitative methodology, this study adopts the phenomenology method to understand preferences and perceptions of Poshan Nanglo among mothers of young children. A total of 305 mothers of children aged 6 to 23 months were interviewed from September 2019 to January 2020. 90%preferred Poshan Nanglo over printed materials. Three themes emerged: a simple and an easy way to learn, the use of real foods help to understand better and it is a practical approach. Thus mothers preferred and appreciated Poshan Nanglo to improve their understanding of good child feeding practices. These mothers also showed improvements in relating the importance of locally available nutritious foods for optimal dietary diversity. Approaching behaviour change should be informed and shaped by the beneficiaries’ interests and preferences. As a simple and sustainable approach in communicating about dietary diversity and good nutrition, Poshan Nanglo has wide relevance and potential.

Introduction: It has been shown that the contribution of beverage energy to total energy intake may increase the risk of diseases in various countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the consumption of added sugar from beverages and nutritional status, anthropometric measurements and biochemical blood parameters in adults. Materials and Methods: This study was designed as an analytical and cross-sectional study and conducted on 100 adult females aged 18-65 who applied to the private diet outpatient clinic in Istanbul/Turkey between November 2020 and April 2021. The demographic characteristics of the individuals were applied to the participants using the food frequency questionnaire, eating habits, physical activity habits and beverage consumption frequency questionnaires. Results: The mean age of the women in the study was 31.8 years . Total energy intake from beverages in women over 25 years old was found to be 145.3 kcal and significantly lower. All women in the study consumed tea and coffee. The consumption rate of all beverages except energy drinks was found to be higher in the younger adults. A positive correlation was found between the results of an insulin resistance test and the total amount of added sugar from the beverages consumed (r=0.297 p=0.043). Conclusions: Lower levels of consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may result in a lower burden of chronic diseases. Future studies should explore consumption patterns of added sugar beverages and individual-level associations with such consumption.
